The Verdict
CoStar is built for commercial brokers and property investors, with a focus on property-data and market-analytics. Crazy Egg targets marketers and small businesses and leads with heatmaps and scroll-maps.
CoStar uses custom enterprise pricing, while Crazy Egg starts at $29/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
Neither tool offers a free plan, so factor the subscription cost into your decision from the start.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
